On the album We Had A Good Thing Going, rapper Charlie Smarts lends himself to an impactful and lasting set that reflects a young man who’s skilled in the act of imprinting charisma to wax. Maintaining an above-it-all level of coolness throughout the album, Smarts lives up to his title as he makes the sort of hip-hop music that is clever and self examining while also being dope as hell. Standout tracks include a chilled out boom blap gem called “Let You Slide” (featuring his Kooley High comrade -in-arms Tab-One); some hand clapping street-soul called “Count On Me“; a heavy-hitting wave ride centered around a massive drumbreak called “On Myself“; and the vibrantly glowing lead single “Butter On My Biscuit“.

“We Had a Good Thing Going, is a strong statement. It’s a self-aware release that posits Smarts as a vulnerable yet confident artist who’s ready to forge new paths.” – Grant Golden via Indyweek.com
